As the Europeans came within the African regions presented, their main goal was to increase their economy. Those methods included with the selling of slaves or the using of resources to find materials of value such as diamonds or important agriculture. When it came to the movements of independence, one could say that the positions were unfair due to the fact that these regions were still in methods of development. However through violent revolts of guerilla wars and peace treaties they were able to form governmental policies that were greater than before such as Unita, FNL, and the MAL.
